Download or read book Applied Laser Spectroscopy written by Robert P. Lucht and published by CRC PressI Llc. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suitable for engineers, physicists, and chemists as well as graduate students in physics and engineering, this book presents a detailed treatment of the fundamental principles underlying the interaction of laser radiation with gas-phase atomic and molecular resonances. Along with numerous examples and end-of-chapter problem sets, it provides the essential material needed to understand laser interactions with molecular and atomic resonances. The book also offers a thorough overview of the full breadth of engineering applications for diagnostic probes, including absorption, laser-induced fluorescence, Raman scattering, coherent Raman scattering, polarization spectroscopy, and resonant wave-mixing techniques.
